<p>This is just a general observation about some dual-degree programs and double majoring…especially with a music and or theatre major combined with another discipline.</p>
<p>It is one thing for a school to say that they offer joint programs. They may. However, it is up to you as a wise consumer to find out the real facts about the number of students who actually have been successful at completing such a program.</p>
<p>You may be surprised at the low number of students who have been successful. Often the work load is next to impossible and people burn out. And even more frequently, the scheduling of dual programs that each have specific classes in a sequence is all by impossible.</p>
<p>After some digging, we found out that a joint program with Julliard and Barnard had about 2 people successfully complete it in about the 6 years the head of the music program had been at Barnard. And yet the program comes up frequently in literature about the school and even on CC. </p>
<p>Be wary and speak to people who are really involved with such programs!</p>
